Release information

This card was included as both a Regular card and an illustration rare in the 151 expansion, first released in the Japanese Pokémon Card 151 subset. The Regular print features artwork by Naoyo Kimura, while the illustration rare print features artwork by Hiroyuki Yamamoto.

Several variants of the Regular print were subsequently made available. The first of these features a gold foil "Pokémon Together" stamp and was given out as part of the Poké Post pop-up experience campaign that ran from November 18 through December 19, 2023 in various cities in the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. People who visited one of these special post offices got to choose either a Pikachu or Eevee Trading Card Game gift pack to post to someone else. Each gift pack included a corresponding Pokémon Together promo card of Pikachu or Eevee and a Scarlet & Violet Series Fun Pack. A second gift pack was given out to the person visiting the Poké Post pop-up.[1] The next variant was a Cosmos Parallel Holofoil, which was packaged in copies of Costco 151 Mini Tin 5-Packs from around early October 2024. The final variant was a Cosmos Holofoil with a silver snowflake stamp, which was made available in the Holiday Calendar 2025 from August 22, 2025. The Regular print was also reprinted as a Confetti Holofoil in the McDonald's Collection 2024.

In mainland China, four exclusive illustration rare prints with artwork by Oswaldo KATO were included in Collection 151, the Simplified Chinese equivalent of the 151 expansion. These prints were available in phased booster pack releases throughout 2025, each of which had slightly different pools of cards and pull rates. The print numbered 170/151 was exclusive to Journey boosters, which launched on January 17; the print numbered 171/151 was exclusive to Hope boosters, which were released on April 18; the print numbered 172/151 was exclusive to Scare boosters, which were released on July 18; and the print numbered 173/151 was exclusive to Gather boosters, which were released on October 17.[2]
